    Man convicted of murdering Burlington police officer to be released on parole

    BURLINGTON, N.C. -- A man convicted of the murder of a retired Burlington police officer will be released on parole in a couple of weeks.

    Darrell Maness Sr. was given a life sentence for the 1986 shooting death of retired Burlington Police Lt. Johnnie Dupree.

    Dupree was working as a security guard at the Cum Park Plaza shopping center and had gone in early to work a charity event.

    “He was an unarmed man shot multiple times I think that's about as cold blooded as it can get. It was simply over a property crime, that's all it was,” says Randy Jones with the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office.

    Jones was a lieutenant with Burlington police at the time of the murder and knew Dupree well.

    “He always presented almost a magazine image of what a police officer should look like in uniform,” Jones said.

    Maness is eligible for parole under old state sentencing guidelines that have since been made stricter.

    “It's actually disgraceful someone should be able to get out with that kind of crime being committed. The loss of a human life is the most tragic event that could occur,” Jones said.

    Maness is scheduled to be released on Aug. 19. Maness’ son Darrell is also in prison. He is on death row for the 2005 murder of a Boiling Spring Lakes police officer. That shooting happened when Maness and the officer got in a struggle during a traffic stop in Brunswick County.

    "There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche
